The annual Thames Valley hang gliding and paragliding club "Big Fat Repack" and zip line allows pilots to test their parachute in a controlled, almost real life, deployment situation. It is a great event that includes tips and tuition on how to pack a parachute. There are also qualified BHPA packers available to assist with re-packing chutes after the zip line deployment.
A huge thank you to the Thames Valley club for organising this great event and all the volunteers that made it such a good day. I was certainly grateful as the deployment process on my new tandem harness is slightly different from my solo harness, not to mention the deployment bag (nappy) needs to be replaced. A new one has been ordered!
